Alveo sets a new standard in realism by accurately simulating human lung behavior under various conditions. Unlike traditional piston-driven models, it utilizes a precision turbine-driven system to control airflow and lung compliance in real-time, allowing for instant adaptation to changes and spontaneous patient efforts.
The internal lung model accounts for the viscoelastic properties of lung tissue, allowing for simulations of stress responses, including gradual recruitment and hysteresis in pressure-volume curves.
alveo can reproduce a wide range of respiratory scenarios, from normal breathing to critical illness. Users can easily adjust settings to simulate conditions such as ARDS, COPD, or asthma.
alveo continuously provides realistic feedback that accurately reflects the patient's actual responses. This feature instills confidence in its effectiveness as a training and testing tool.
alveo offers unparalleled ease of use, allowing users to control simulations effectively and enabling real-time observation of lung response. Navigation is straightforward, featuring quick menus for patient profiles (adult or pediatric) and lung parameter adjustments. The user-friendly software requires minimal training.
Its sleek, white housing features a Lung View LED graphic for lung status and airflow direction, while the quiet turbine minimizes noise. All connections are conveniently located for easy setup, and wireless connectivity allows for remote adjustments. Overall, alveo provides a new era of accessibility and advanced lung simulation.
alveo is a versatile tool across various applications in clinical education, device engineering, and research innovation.
